..CV biased as always WG.
So... when are you going to make the yamato's secondaries actually shoot at aircraft?? I definitely remember them being dual purpose (DP) guns... and what ever happened to ships properly capsizing and shearing in half, and why dont propellers keep spinning after a ship sinks? and why dont the wrecks stay on the sea floor for submarines to admire? How about fixing the stuff you had years ago? I came back to this game 2 months ago only to be disappointed time and time again with how much this game has changed. my beta tester badge and 8 years meritorious service badge is shameful to use.
CV's ruined this game. I stopped playing.
The entire crew knew that it was a one way trip
The Japanese orders were to beach the ship on whatever island they were fighting for at that point and use it as artillery so at least the top brass knew they weren’t coming back
@@O.J._is_Guiltythat wasnt the order at all. Yamatos last mission was called operation ten-gō and the mission was to start a relief attack at okinawa so the rest of the japanese navy had some time to reorganize which ultimately failed because the americans noticed that the yamato left port and intercepted it and its support fleet consisting of a few destroyers and cruisers. In the end 4000 people died, yamato alongside 1 cruiser and 4 destroyers where sunk while the usa only hav 12 deaths consisting of 10 shot down planes.
They gave their life for a cause they believed in even though it was an evil regime led by a genocidal maniac
I didn't know that. God bless the US. RIP Japanese sailors.
@@O.J._is_Guilty Wasn't that the Tirpitz?
Two things:
1. More planes were involved in the sinking of the Yamato than the Pearl Harbor attack (and remember, they were sent to sink one ship)
2. The explosion was so monstrous it knocked out a few planes from the sky. And to add insult to injury, that explosion brought down more planes than the Yamato did during the entire battle up until that point.
During the battle, the ships Yahagi,Isokaze, Hamakaze and Asashimo we’re also sunk.Kasomi was badly damaged and scuttled afterwards. Suzutsuki was also badly damaged and had her bow blown off.
There were 10 ships total in this battle, and all were damaged Or sunk.
Did Yamato sink any ships or atleast connect with its guns? Very curious!
@@chiefpullinstill3700In October of 1944 the battleship Yamato engaged and sunk an American escort carrier and one destroyer during the battle of the Samar Gulf in the Philippines.
Then few years later after 1945 ... instead of building more army, the Jap build powerful Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, shipped it over to America and till 2023 those machines kill more Americans on daily basis.
There u go👍
great info ty
Both Yamato and Musashi were very tough ships. They were sunk yes, but it took a lot to do it.
And a lot of sacrifices just to put down that monster of the ship.
@@azwanajeeb2167like sending out 300 aircraft to destroy that one ship and etc
No@@glitchingghost7560
@@azwanajeeb2167 Americans sacrificed incredibly few airmen, Japan sacrificed nearly everyone onboard
@@sayhallo3769It's what happens when you start wars.
They learned from sinking the Musashi that they wanted to hit only one side of the ship with torpedoes instead of hitting both sides. In this way, it would reduce the ability to mitigate listing by counter-flooding. Ultimately, it led to the Yamato capsizing.
Yamato was a great ship. Although it had to be destroyed, you have to admit, it was a sad undertaking.
We learned about it in 8th grade. A classmate brought a model of it to school we helped him put it together. She had a lot of guns. She was a beautiful ship. Especially after we painted it.
We also learned about the Missouri, the Nevada and all the ships that were sunk at Pearl Harbor.
That was the best week ever, at school, in 8th grade, for us boys. Ill never forget it.
Since then I aquired the documentaries The World at War and Victory at Sea.
I had a Yamato plastic model when I was a kid. I loved it.
I used to watch Victory at Sea with my grandpa Shelly, in the 60’s, he was a WWII navy veteran in the Pacific.
@@regsmith7604 My dad enlisted then he got shot in his leg in Algeria.
There is also a table top war game called victory at Sea. It is a World War II naval game. We played it and it is a really great game.
The Yamato was actually not a very good ship. For most of the war it was in port getting either getting repaired or getting refueled. It had little impact on the war in the Pacific as it was unable to be in that many battles.
People tend to forget that there were other ships that were targets too. One was the command ship which was sunk. The japanese used their ships way diferent than allied ships. As to the day of the Yamato sinking, sevetal other warships wete sunk.
The American subs in the area rescued our down pilots then torpedoed the remaining ships. That was the end of the IJN.
The battleships Musashi and the haruna suffered the same fate
Not really, Haruna survived almost to the end of the war, iirc she was sunk in port.
@imoenbg1 so basically all the giant Japanese battleships has sunk lol
Not true either. Nagato survived the end of the war and a nuke as well.
@imoenbg1 yea keep on with that stupid bullshit
@@imoenbg1Two of them. The only reason she and Prinz Eugen sunk was that the radiation prevented damage control teams from patching the leaks. It took days to sink.
My father served on the USS Heermann during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. His ship made a torpedo run on the Yamato all the while dodging shells. My father said the Yamato was a big ship but the guns looked really big when they are pointing and firing at you. The Yamato wasn’t hit, but because of the torpedos it had to take evasive measures which took it out of the fight for a while. His ship took some hits but didn’t sink. He lost some shipmates. Dad had major PTSD. He served during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam. My brother and I served in Vietnam. My son served in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Heerman was the only US destroyer to survive the battle. The other two, Johnston and Hoel, we’re sunk either directly or in part by Yamato.
Thank your whole family for the gift of freedom you have given us.
@@Christine-ln4lmhe didn't mention the revolutionary war, so his family may not have been part of giving you freedom, but protecting what freedoms remain. In all honesty, his family is owed an apology, for the elected erosion of everything his family has sacrificed themselves to preserve. Unfortunately, none of us has ever known the full measure of the freedoms the founders fought for, because the republic was assassinated, by the Supreme Court, in 1803, Lincoln destroyed any sense of State's rights, in 1865, and Congress has been throwing away its authority and credibility, since 1803, when it failed to even attempt to stop the unconstitutional actions of the Supreme Court. His family has protected the few freedoms which remain, but the nation spits in the face of that sacrifice, by tolerating a government, which bears no resemblance to the one created and restrained by the Constitution.
@@OneTruePhreakLOL
Respect to your son for fighting in Kosovo, your blood protected many of my people from those war criminals and I am very grateful 🇽🇰🫡
My father fought in that battle, these are the real heros, not the Kardashians.
What are you even talking about?
@@WALTERBROADDUShis dad fought in WWII. More specifically the battle to sink the Yamato. Any and all WWII veterans are heroes in my life.
@@abelrichardson4319 that's nice and everything , but it's kind of a bit of a stretch to be on topic.
@@WALTERBROADDUS are you serious? He said his dad fought in WWII said that the veterans of the war are the real heros and not the Kardashians.
@@abelrichardson4319 I'm always serious. Millions of people fought in the War. I have never heard the term, "heroic" applied to the Kardashians for anything. It just didn't really contribute much of a comment about the sinking.
The most beautiful sword ever brought to a gun fight.
Naval aviator Lt.(jg) Francis Ferry, flying a Helldiver, dropped the first bomb that hit and incapacitated the Yamato. For his actions that day he received the Navy Cross. After the war he became a teacher, and was the Dean of Boys at my high school. I saw a TV news clip a few years ago about him celebrating his 100th birthday in 2020.
One of my great uncles was killed at Pearl Harbor, as he was trying to swim to safety from the ship he’d been on being destroyed & was sinking. My other great uncle, his brother, was wounded but served out the rest of the war in the Pacific Theatre.
The Yamato was disabled by bombs down the smokestack. Then she stopped without steam generators. As the interior fires could not be controled without pumps, the fires spread to the magazines. She blew up from about 20,000 tons of explosive.
Literally 20 kilotons? The explosion was more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb? Wow.
Bombs down the smokestack??? This isn't star wars.....
And no ship holds 20k tons of explosive.
Someone doesn't know the difference between kilo and mega !@@yahooyaboo439
20 tons?
20,000 lbs?
20,000 kg?
No way it was 20,000 tons.
do some more random ops that simulate battles like this, would be cool!
Gigantic potential.
Very very very few would be balanced, but I am convinced they could make a balanced "battle of jutland"
Makes too much sense. So it will never happen
I got to meet a person who was in on sinking of the Yamato. It was at a Pearl Harbor remembrance The Navy League at Aurora Illinois. He was from Lanark Illinois.
Who remembers the cartoon version of Yamato flying around in outer space ??
Two names for the same series: "Spaceship Yamato" for the Japanese, or "Star Blazers" for the US dubbed version. GREAT series. 4 seasons.
My friends and I just watched it earlier this year. Pretty cool series.
@@viktorwolf5518aren’t they making a new season?? I was watching it on Crunchyroll but I only remember it having 2 seasons,unless it’s one of those where it’s seasons are 24 episodes and it’s season 1-2 put together
star blazers
after they found the wreck that kinda went out the window, Yamato broke in 3, no way you rebuilding that into a starship
really wish they do more animation like this instead of killing this game
How are they killing the game

It wasn't "hope"...it was a suicide mission.
American said ..” DON’T TOUCH MY BOATS!” 😅😂🤣😆
All the planes were not only for Yamato, they sank the other Japanese ships first and then Yamato
The Japanese naval squadron consisted of the battleship Yamato, the light cruiser Yahagi, and 9 destroyers.
The Yamato was the primary target, and was attacked first. The other ships were not attacked until the Yamato was dead in the water, and then the Yahagi and 4 of the 9 destroyers were sunk.
One of the destroyers, the Yukikaze, had participated in every major battle in the Pacific without receiving a single hit or suffering any damage or casualties, and she was here with the Yamato. US naval aviators launched multiple attacks on her during this battle without scoring a single hit or even a near-miss.
Maybe you should read your history before you post a comment that makes you look like a fool
Japan brought her out on one final kamakaze run. May her sailors RIP at the bottom of the Pacific.
I can only imagine how terrified the sailors were during this assault
Probably not much. The Japanese who fought in WW2 were a different breed. They were unrelenting, determined. They wouldn't give up. That's why it took so much sacrifice and resources to take iwo jima and Okinawa
Well with all the bombs dropping on people I’m SURE the crew seeing the after math of the people who were hit by the bombs would be traumatized
When they left port with no air cover, they knew it was a suicide mission.
@@stephenwalker6939 they 100% knew. They just didn’t expect the 10+ American carriers launching 300 bomber and torpedos planes at them
@@travissmith5945exactly and that's why both bombs were necessary. The main land war would've been brutal, the Japanese would've fought for the emperor till the last man. For them he wasn't just a man but a living god.
When I hear sympathy for the Yamato, I think about the Arizona, and the other battle ships resting in port. They were cowardly attacked be surprise. Sympathy for the Japanese sailors, remember the Bataan death march. War is a terrible thing. I've been there. The enemy is the enemy.
Finally some one Recognized that dreadnought. Arizona in my eyes will always hold a special place in my and many peoples hearts
Agreed
Isn't that part of America's greatness? Being better than the enemy? Fighting from the moral high ground? Brave men fought on both sides for the egos of lesser men who never fought. Side note, my great uncle was in the death march - he survived but got real bad Stockholm's syndrome and never left. Ended up marrying a Japanese women some years younger than him and my family lost touch
A 14 page letter from japan was suppose to be given to the USA guy in DC just before pearl harbor was to be attacked. The japs in DC had trouble translating the letter and it was delivered after the attack was underway. There was a documentary on the history channel about this in early 2000s.
The US was already involved in WWII by supplying other countries with weapons and supplies. It was the US cowardice not to declare war to the Axis on time, that would have saved too many lives.
Such great ships were built by both Japan and Germany. Just remarkable ingenuity.
In the end Yamato was just a live ammo tranning excersice.
More like a mmo raid boss lol
You guys should make more of this animated videos and give it to documentarys about ships
That last explosion destroyed more aircraft then the entire portion of the battle.
Than*
REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR AND PERISH
That ship had a sixteen inch hull and eighteen inch guns. It was the largest battleship ever built.
Iowas are better
@@sc1338
about the same accuracy on both ships but yamato had 5km more reach.
@@sc1338 your just biased against Yamato. Like many others
@@sc1338I doubt that. Iowa’s only advantages were radar and speed, Yamato was superior in all other regards.
@@metaknight115 I’d say radar ties into the fire control system for more accurate shots and the American daily were better at damage control. Having said that it would have been a great one on one fight
Both the sinking of Bismarck and Yamato highlight the power of aircraft carriers. Those aviators were like a pack of wolves out for the blood of a buffalo.
Yamato was a battleship not an aircraft carrier
That drone operator deserves a raise 👍😃
The Yamato class had a fatal design flaw: There was a weakness between their upper and lower armor belt joint and inadequate torpedo bulges
They were given only enough fuel for a one trip
The battleships were rendered obsolete by the aircraft carriers and their planes during the war.
I love the design of the air planes back then especially ours
Seems like a serious majestic and one of a kind ship. Such a pity that all this was made for war.
All Humans of differing Nationalities together could do so many great things.
Alas, even now, we not learn.
She was 1 of 2; her sister ship was IJN Musashi.
The whole of war is a great tragedy.
Maybe someday in the future
Do more of these fr.
Eff'd around and found out.
Yamato was a steel fortress and probably one of the biggest battle ships of it's time...ingeniously built"
The Japanese should have never awaked the sleeping Giant for he has resolve and a temper
Or the sleeping giant intended for the Japanese to wake them up. They cut the fuel supplies needed by the Japanese. Sent their aircraft carriers away from Pearl Harbor and have the old WW1 design warship in the harbor.
The allied won mostly from having a better communication but in Pearl Harbor? 1 hr late????
They already have suspicion of the Japanese and yet they let their guard down or it was just a coincidence?
Yeah, I guess so. But, I sure do love them know.
America made Japan attack America.
they denied Japan's racial equality proposal in Paris Peace conference. force Japan to sign unequal treaty.
until western countries start bully Japan, Japanese government was favors western world.
im not supporting Imperial Japan's action, but seeing Americans acting like a they attacked by Japan for no reason is frustrating.
They had no choice - to break the US blocade and get the empire going, they needed to make their move.

Thanks, will do!

My dad was a WWII history buff and tought me alot about it. In history class I was so excited when we were getting to WWII so I could show off some knowledge. But the teacher just said "Then there was WWII and we won". That was it!

Hurray... They celebrated at that moment

An absolute shame she had to sink before Japan realize they're not gonna win and surrendered
Would have likely been scrapped anyways
@@sirbacon1617 it was viewed as Japan's supreme symbol of power and ambition, like divinity almost, if it did survive it likely would have been preserved as a museum. But the pride of the japanese military command essentially doomed it, with the lengths they were willing to go just to defend the motherland from an obviously superior enemy.
@@kamikaze309 Id be suprised as a massive majority of WW2 stuff was scrapped including the cool rare stuff
By this time they knew...
@@sirbacon1617
A lot of historical ships were used in the atomic testing.
japan built superbattleships when they were already obsolete. Yamato only saw battle once, when it was sunk. It was kept in the background and sailors called it hotel yamato because being on it meant you were far away from action.
It also saw action in October 1944 at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, firing upon and subsequently sinking the escort carrier Gambier Bay.
The yamato class battleship was meant to bring US to their knees but the failure in Midway battle forced them to retreat and defend themselves
The reason battleships are called obsolete is because the nations that had theirs sunk by carriers had little to none and couldn’t replace their battleships
Even during construction of the Yamato sisters admiral Yamamoto looked at them and was like "disappointment..." bcuz he was a pro CV
"Yamato only saw battle once, when it was sunk.". How little actual history you know. You might want to check out the battle of Leyte Gulf sweetie pie.............................
LEST WE FORGET HAND SALUTE
And the motto of the story, don't poke the bear. Or don't wake that sleeping giant
Only if she was still afloat today
Would have been cool to see but I'm glad they sunk her given the mission she was about to try to do she might have cost a lot more American lives
@bryantrussell120 Yeah, that's the sad part. But she was a beauty of a ship
The Japanese destroyed all documents pertaining to the ship class so I'm fairly certain they wouldn't of let the ships themselves fall into anyone else's hands were they about to be defeated
Nothing quite like having Sir Christopher Lee tell you about history
With no air cover, the Yamato is just a huge hunk of metal, a free-for-all shooting target, battleship’s glory days had long passed.
We feed a few tiger sharks that day .
mighty* :p where's the proofreader?
Fun fact: we had 6 battleships on standby ready to engage the Yamato
and all of them stood outside of yamatos 45km range cause they knew they wouldnt get out without losses if they tried to engage.
@@uteriel282 what do you mean the us sank the Yamato before she got close
@@ComeAndTakeIt9235
other way around.
the usn prepared a large fleet to take the yamato on but decided to use the carriers predominantly because the other ships didnt have the reach to engage safely.
it would have taken the other ships hours to get within range while having to evade fire from the yamato and they werent ready to take that risk.
@@uteriel282 that does not change the fact that the battleships were ready in case the Yamato made it
I worked with an old man named Larry when I was young. He was a WWII pilot in the pacific theater. He flew a dive bomber and told me his first hand experience of this battle. His eyes watched the Yamato go down.
In the 1930s, Billy Mitchell proved to the American military that the aircraft was going to be the weapon of the future, not the battleship. So it's no surprise to me that none of the American carriers were around in Pearl Harbor on December 7 of 1941. A select few people in American government knew about the Japanese attack that was coming and made sure that those carriers were out of harms way and allowed for that sacrifice in order to get us into the war😢😢. and this video here is just more proof about how important the Air Force was at that time in history, doing a job that no battleship was going to be able to do.
Yup, Pearl Harbor was an attack that could have been prevented.
That seems like a while theory.
Conspiracy theory
they also found that the rivets they used for mose of the armour plating sheared off when a torpedo hit it, leaving massive gaping holes
They had special anti aircraft shells for Yamatos 18 inch guns .They fired grape shot like huge shotguns but weren't used
That’s why you don’t build the largest target in the world
*largest target without competent AA
Had the Yamato had competent, accurate AA, it would of probably survive the onslaught.
@@Cesp43 Against 200+ aircraft? I don’t think so. That’s like one dog vs 400 wasps

This demonstrated the fatal weakness of the supership concept. Whether by carrier aircraft or by lesser warships, there were always going to be enough of the enemy to thoroughly dogpile her.

She wanted to fight the American battle ships but we were like no.
Makes you wonder how the world would be if just a few battles had gone the other way.
Crazy how it practically never got put into use because they were so afraid of losing it.
So much more to live for.
In a game called StarCraft there’s a capital ship called the battlecruiser and it has a weapon called the “Yamato cannon”. I wonder if there’s a correlation between the two.
I cried when i read how she was sunk
just don't trust it Japanese are doing crime back then
It took, it's last stand. And, fought against the odds for hours. And, went down as a legend.
The IJN had the Yamato at Rabual during the Guanacanal Campaign yet never brought it out to shell Henderson Field or take on the US Navy forces.
Halsey: Hit Hard, Hit Fast, Hit Often
It was later salvaged and turned into a space battleship, then used to travel to Iskandar.
What a beautiful ship it was and wish that it was still around today.
God Bless the Sailors and Airmen of this historic battle.
